Joëlle Bitton will speak in our class April 5th at 12 noon. Here is a short biography:
Unable to stay focused on one particular field, Joëlle is having both a good and a bad time at experimenting ways to address media art, interaction design and research. Considering that media science is actually more often than not a mix of these different approaches, she gets to places that make sense for her. Her work process involves history methodology, geopolitics, pop culture, traveling and iteration : somehow, a sense of personal geography acting upon the ways of the world.
As a media artist, Joëlle Bitton co-founded in 2000 an experimental online platform, Superficiel. Her professional experience as an interaction designer involved designing and carrying out multimedia projects for museums and cultural institutions. She conducted research on the mediation of technologies on human relationships at Media Lab Europe and currently pursues similar problematics at Culture Lab in Newcastle. She’s been working on this theme since her post-graduate degree in 1999 that describes the influence of the emerging technologies and networks on the European society in the 19th century (University of Sorbonne).
Joëlle Bitton was born in Paris in 1974.
